Han Dang had several conflicts with each other, but was blocked by Cao's soldiers. Jiangdong's army resisted vigorously. Although Cao's army's offensive was slowed down, it could not be stopped. More and more people came out of Cao's army's camp, and Jiangdong's army was blocked.
The army was retreating steadily. Han Dang tried his best, but still could not stop it. Just when Cao Jun was about to break through Han Dang's defense line, Lu Su's Chinese army arrived.
"Supervisor! Supervisor, you came just in time. Cao Jun is crazy, all crazy!" Han Dang gasped for air, and the horses were sweating all over. There were too many Cao soldiers, and they couldn't kill them all.
Lu Su straightened up and looked ahead. A large number of Cao's troops were swarming towards him. With the firelight in the river, he could only see a dark, boundless area with no end in sight. Lu Su was shocked: "What's going on?
Why are there so many people? Didn’t it say that Cao Jun was burned to death?"
Han Dang shook his head: "Before we arrived at Cao's camp, we were killed by surprise. A large number of Cao's troops poured out from inside, and we couldn't stop them! Lord Supervisor, please think of a way quickly, if we continue to fight like this
, my troops and horses are all finished!"
Lu Su frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. Xu Sheng, the loyal captain, saw that Cao's army was pressing forward step by step, and his troops were retreating steadily, and they were almost in front of the Chinese army, and he quickly said: "Supervisor
Lord Jun, no matter what, hurry up and order to defend the enemy, Cao Jun will be here soon!"
Lu Su nodded hurriedly: "Okay, order the whole army to set up their positions and block Cao's soldiers!"
"Kill...!" Yu Jin and Cao Hong went into battle in person and began to attack the Jiangdong Army's defense line. The two parties fought to the death on the river beach. Because the Jiangdong Army succeeded in the fire attack, everyone thought they would take advantage, and the fight became more and more serious.
The more they fought, the more they felt something was wrong. Cao Jun had no choice but to fight tooth and nail in order to survive. The roles of the two parties changed faster than Lu Su expected.
The fire on the river skyrocketed, and the blood of the people killed on the river bank flowed into the river. The various screams made people panic. The blood gathered from all around flowed into the river like a stream, and the water on the river bank immediately turned into
It turned a blood red color, which was particularly dazzling against the background of the fire. Starting from Cao Ying and going for several miles to the east, there were dead bodies everywhere.
Cheng Yu and others protected Cao Cao and followed the army. When he learned that they encountered a stubborn resistance in front of them, Cheng Yu took a breath: "This group of people came really fast! If we were one step later, I'm afraid...
…”
Dong Zhaodao: "There is nothing to be afraid of. We can only rush forward at this time. Only by defeating the Jiangdong people can we have a way out!"
Cao Cao suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Where did Long Fei from the west go?"
The scout hurriedly said: "Long Fei's army stayed five miles away and never came!"
Cao Cao shook his head: "This Long Fei is indeed insidious and cunning. He even betrayed his own allies, but now we can only pray that he doesn't come over. It's not a good thing to attack from both sides!"
"Don't worry, my lord, Long Fei is actually a businessman. He puts his own interests first in everything he does. In this battle, he just likes our baggage. As long as he keeps a little, Long Fei will never come over!" Dong Zhao said
Promise.
Kan Ze said: "I'm afraid it's hard to say. Long Fei has always been eclectic in his affairs. What should we do if he rushes over? It's better to be careful!"
Cao Cao nodded and immediately sent out scouts to monitor Long Fei's every move. As long as Long Fei made any movement, he had to be more careful. The resistance of the Jiangdong people was particularly tenacious, and Cao Cao's infantry advanced very slowly. Lu Su was a smart man, he
Already seeing that Cao Cao was going to confront him, he immediately divided his army into several groups and blocked the attack on this narrow river bank. He also sent people to contact Long Fei, hoping that Long Fei could attack from behind. This was the only way.
Only then can Cao Jun be blocked at Chibi.
If Cao Cao is destroyed, it will definitely be a good thing for the people of Jiangdong. With Long Fei's current strength, with Liu Bei to the west and Ma Teng to the north, it will be very difficult for Cao Cao to expand. They are the only ones in Jiangdong. As long as they guard against Long Fei,
Then he can occupy Cao Cao's territory to the north. This was Sun Quan's plan from the beginning of the war, so he left his most elite Cheng Pu in Moling. Firstly, it was the last line of defense. Secondly, if Sanjiangkou defeated Cao Cao,
As soon as he died, Cheng Pu's elite troops could cross the river immediately.
"What? Long Fei stopped?" The scout's report surprised Han Dang: "What the hell kind of ally is this? It's such a good opportunity to stand still! What does Long Fei want to do?"
Lu Su shook his head slightly: "Long Fei is really a villain. It seems that he has seen through our plan!"
"Plan! What plan?" Han Dang asked hurriedly.
Lu Su gave him a careless look and said, "Nothing! Now Cao Cao has identified our side as a weak point. If he wants to break through from our side, General Han will immediately organize troops and horses to block Cao's army. He must not let them pass!"
"No!" Han Dang agreed, turned his horse's head and immediately went to make arrangements.
Xu Sheng came on horseback with blood all over his body. After two rounds of blocking, Xu Sheng was a little struggling. Although the successive blocking slowed down the pace of Cao's army, it also dispersed his own strength. No matter how hard the soldiers fought,
It was difficult to effectively block. Jiangdong's army suffered a lot of casualties, and many soldiers had already thought of escaping. Xu Sheng charged and killed Cao's army twice in the battle formation, and was covered in blood and covered with armor.
They all turned red, but there were so many of Cao's troops that it seemed they would never be able to kill them all.
"Master Supervisor!" Xu Sheng shouted loudly as he ran: "Master Supervisor, Cao has too many soldiers. I suggest we organize a defense line here. We can't divide the troops anymore!"
Before Lu Su could speak, a guard beside him said: "What do you know? This is the only way to delay Cao's army! Our army only has 30,000 troops, and Cao's army has no less than 100,000. It is difficult to resist in a head-on confrontation!"
Lu Su was a little curious, turned to look at the man, and nodded: "Ding Feng is right, we have few soldiers, and if we form a line of defense, we can't stop Cao's army at all. The best way is to block it step by step!
Ding Feng, I will appoint you as the captain now, go and help Captain Xu!"
Xu Sheng had no choice but to fight back a second time. Ding Feng quickly dismounted and knelt in front of Lu Su: "Thank you, Lord Supervisor, I will not embarrass you!"
The other guards looked at Ding Feng. Just a moment ago, this boy was just like him. In the blink of an eye, he was now a captain. How could this be reasonable? He didn't have such good luck, so he could only sigh.
Although Long Fei was stationed five miles away, he was still very concerned about the war here. He also knew that Jiangdong Army was fighting very hard, but Cao Cao must not die. Xu Shu asked: "It seems that Jiangdong Army can't support it for long. Do we want to help?"
A handful of them?"
Long Fei shook his head with a smile. Pang Tong said: "According to the report from Tanma, there are not many Jiangdong's troops left, and Cao's army seems to be getting braver as they fight. It's not a good thing if this continues! Jiangdong is desperate for this decisive battle with Cao Cao.
If all these soldiers and horses are lost, with Cao Cao's strength, he can take the opportunity to go south!"
When Pang Tong said this, everyone was shocked. Long Fei also stood up from the ground and looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia nodded slightly: "Although we can't let Cao Cao die, we can't let the people of Jiangdong suffer too much.
, Cao Cao's territory is vast, and it is easy to gather troops and horses. If Jiangdong's army is slaughtered, Jiangdong will be cannibalized by Cao Cao in less than two years, which will be detrimental to us."
"It seems that the two military advisors have the same view!" Long Fei felt that what they said was reasonable: "So, we need to help the Jiangdong people?"
Guo Jia and Pang Tong both nodded. Xu Shu said: "Cao's army is powerful. Even if our troops are gone, we may not be able to save them. If we want to help, we'd better find other ways!"
Guo Jia smiled slightly: "We don't have to go there in person to help! Isn't this a good example in front of us?" As he spoke, Guo Jia pointed to the fire burning on the river.
"Hahaha, what a good plan!" Long Fei laughed repeatedly and called Xu Shu to his side with a wave of his hand. He whispered a few words. Xu Shu nodded repeatedly and turned around to leave.
Seeing that Jiangdong's army was about to lose its hold, the last line of defense seemed to be in danger. Han Dang, Xu Sheng, and Ding Feng desperately defended the three corners, preventing Cao's army from passing by one by one. Yu Jin and Cao Hong attacked several times but failed.
Breaking the Jiangdong people's defense line. Yu Jin waved his hand to stop Cao Jun who was still charging. Looking at Cao Hong who was covered in blood: "General Cao, the Jiangdong people seem to be determined. After fighting all night, the soldiers are already exhausted.
You can’t rush in forcefully, you have to find a way!”
Cao Hong was not in good health. He was out of breath after fighting all night long. He nodded repeatedly: "Yes! If General Yu has any good ideas, just tell him!"
Just as Yu Jin was about to open his mouth, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Fire! Fire!"
The two of them were stunned and quickly turned their heads. They saw flames rising into the sky behind them, and large swathes of woods along the river bank were burned for no apparent reason. Cao Jun, who was originally moving forward bravely, was dizzy by the sudden fire. Especially those who had just escaped from the fire.
The escaping navy troops hurriedly ran back as soon as they saw the fire. Cao Jun was immediately confused. The fire burned bigger and bigger, stretching for several miles. It seemed to be burning from Cao Jun's camp.
"What's going on? Could it be that the fire in the water village came here?" Cao Hong felt strange.
Yu Jin looked at it: "No, be careful of the woods!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without any warning, another shower of arrows flew out from the woods with firelight, one after another. Cao Jun quickly resisted, but it was too late. The soldiers who were shot shouted loudly.
He shouted, and those who were not hit turned around and ran away. As he ran, he shouted: "There is an ambush! There is an ambush!"
Cao Cao's chariot was also hit by several arrows. Fortunately, Cao Cao was lucky, and the arrows flew out close to the tip of Cao Cao's nose. Cao Cao was so frightened that he lay down in the chariot and did not dare to move. Until the sword shield hand protected the chariot, Cheng
It took Yu and several people to help Cao Cao out of the car. Cao Cao was shocked: "What's going on? Is there really an ambush?"
Cao Chun looked at the three-edged arrow in his hand and had an ominous premonition: "This is not an arrow from Jiangdong people, but it seems to be something used by the Long Army!"
